When the cherry blossoms bloom, "The King of Comedy" is released on time.

The total filming period of the film plus post-production does not exceed 80 days, and Zhou Xingxing is also a quick shooter.

Just like that, a lot of time was wasted due to the schedule of the two heroines, otherwise it would be completed within two months.

"I'm so envious." Chen Bing sighed.

Chen Bing is the reserve talent of Daydream Pictures and the executive director of "Nirvana in Fire". In order to make a medium investment, he needs to settle down for another year or two.

"I'm almost there, next year, next year it's my turn." Chen Bing secretly observed Zhou Xingxing who was discussing with Chu Yuan, and he felt like it was my turn to play.

"How can I get my boss to take over the filming of my script?" Chen Bing has already written the script for "Buried Alive".

I believe that no one but Brother Thirteen would dare to take on this script that is shot to the end!

Chen Bing was thinking in his mind and writing with his hands. He had already dug up a lot of information about the big boss.

"Men like Big Boss are really cruel. When he is not filming, his hobbies are writing papers and publishing them and going to theaters." Chen Bing felt how difficult this man was. Who would write papers when a serious person is resting?

Huangbaiyouhui, and its level is not low, can produce on average two to three core and five to eight provincial publications every year.

"Drama, it seems that Xiaoqiushan Repertory Theater is tepid. If I can make it popular... I'm sorry I can't do it." Chen Bing is still relatively self-aware.

"The only breakthrough is to eat." Chen Bing looked at his information.

According to a certain Xiaohongshu and Douyin platforms, the best way to encounter Huang Baiyou is to visit certain barbecue and hot pot restaurants.

"Behave better and ask Mr. Chu directly first. If it doesn't work, I will adopt plan B." Chen Bing thought to himself.

"The King of Comedy" is an A-level project for Daydream Pictures. The company has good distribution capabilities in the industry, with an average film scheduling rate of 22.1%.

Of course, it also has something to do with choosing the timing of the premiere. There is no time to catch up, there are no holidays, and there are no decent competitors.

The premiere was held at the Shanghai Cinema.

"The teacher is filming, so he can't come to the premiere, eh!" Zhou Xingxing thought it was a fly in the ointment.

I called to invite her, but playing Cheng Dieyi requires too much energy. Not to mention taking time to attend the premiere, the filming of her commercials has been postponed.

"If Teacher Huang has to do everything, why do you and I need to do it?" Zhang Shishi heard the muttering next to her and answered directly.

Zhou Xingxing did not understand the meaning of these words. What he muttered meant that it was a pity that the key person who contributed to this drama could not be present at important occasions.

The meaning Zhang Shishi heard was, "You, the director, are responsible for the quality of the movie, and I will handle the popularity of the movie. No need to trouble Mr. Huang."

"But of course the popularity and quality are our business. I just said...forget it, I said the wrong thing." Zhou Xingxing was too lazy to explain.

Zhang Shishi looked around Zhou Xingxing and said, "The tie is loose. I'll go to the bathroom to tidy it up later. You are the director today, so you can't mess it up."

Messy? I'm not in a mess, Zhou Xingxing thinks about himself.

"Don't be nervous, just treat the audience at the premiere as pig trotters." Zhang Shishi comforted.

The scene is not small, and there are all the self-media, reporters, film critics and guests.

There are two special guests among the guests, one is Wu Zinan and the other is Wang Leixin.

"Elder brother, brother Wang, please don't leave when it's over. I have to thank you both." Zhou Xingxing said that he was a director, so he couldn't always entertain people and say hello in an emergency, so he just did his own thing.

"Xingxing is so good now." Wang Leixin exclaimed, "He can be both a director and a starring actor."

Wu Zinan heard a hint of jealousy, and while being surprised, he felt that it was natural.

Wang Leixin was the actor who picked up Zhou Xingxing and recommended him to join the Super Analysis sect. Wang has been a member of the Chaoji sect for more than three years and is considered an "old man". He is also a somewhat famous green leaf actor himself.

When he recommended Zhou Xingxing, he looked down and said, "Oh, this guy works much harder than me, he also has ideas, and he is not popular." He seemed to be trying to save people in need.

But in a blink of an eye, the extra performer who was looking down at the scene performed a triple jump. Wang Leixin was not calm and happy. On the contrary, he was panicking.

"The acting is excellent and the directing is excellent. Zhou Xingxing started directing without even understanding the acting aspect. He was too anxious." Wu Zinan said.

"Actually, senior brother doesn't have one either," Wang Leixin said, "Xingxing's acting talent is very good, plus his basic skills are very good even if he plays a small role, so there will be no problem."

"Really?" Wu Zinan was noncommittal. He personally thought that Zhou Xingxing had too much desire for expression. If he could concentrate on being an actor, he would have achieved good results.

Wu Zinan is from the Huang Baiyou faction and believes that personal energy is limited and it is best to only do one thing on the set.

Sixty percent of the media present were focused on Zhang Shishi, the remaining 30% were on Xie Jiayan, and director Zhou Xingxing only occupied 10%.

And these 10% of the questions are related to Huang Baiyou.

"Director Zhou, the publicity said that the script of "The King of Comedy" impressed Brother Thirteen and made him ask for a guest appearance. Is this true?"

"You will know whether it is true or false after watching the movie." Zhou Xingxing said.

The film finally appeared in the public eye——

["Extras are also actors. Although they play passers-by A, B, C, and D, they still have lives and souls."

"Hey, it's so dark in front, I can't see anything."

"No, it's beautiful after dawn."

"You can say I'm a walk-on, but you can't say I'm a walk-on."

...]

Zhou Xingxing's script was valued by Huang Baiyou. The core point is the protagonist Yin Tianchou, a genuine story of a small character.

It can be said to be a tragedy disguised as a comedy.

Zhou Xingxing said, "Life is like this. It's not that you will be rewarded for your hard work. It is normal that your hard work will not be rewarded." However, comedies cannot end tragically, so there is an "institutional deity" at the end of the film, as a co-op to help the police. Busting human traffickers.

Domestic comedies can be roughly divided into two categories. The first is comedy movies that are similar to a collection of sketches, and the other is family movies that are not that funny.

"The King of Comedy" doesn't belong to either category. After the premiere, I saw the film critics' expressions, either frowning, laughing, or having complicated eyes.

Overall, I should be satisfied.

Douban also has a score of 7.6 at the opening, and the score continues to increase. It is enough to prove that the audience is also quite satisfied.

"What are you doing in the last twenty minutes? Why did you suddenly change it to a police movie?"

"I heard that Zhou Xingxing really wanted to act in an undercover film, and he wanted to enjoy this movie."

"Wow, the words 'you support me' and 'support' give me full marks."

"It's a good comedy. The actor Zhou Xingxing has a very unique temperament. The movie where Thirteenth Brother guest-starred is really not bad."

"It is said that Zhou Xingxing worked as a bit player for several years before he got this opportunity. The film must be semi-autobiographical."

Wait for the message.

Many fans also shouted to Huang, "You have time to make guest appearances, but why don't you have time to film? Why don't you come up with new movies?" "Open the door, open the door, I know you are inside."...

On the first day of release, the box office was 78.16 million RMB. Judging from the current popularity, the box office in the first week exceeded 100 million, and a third-party data company predicted a box office of 250 million.

This result is not bad either.

Some are satisfied, some are dissatisfied.

Satisfied: Zhou Xingxing, Xie Jiayan

Dissatisfied: Chu Yuan, Zhang Shishi

If you are not satisfied, you have to find a way!

There will be another chapter later.
